BUS SERVICE UPDATE

Following the issues that you and your child(ren) have experienced with the buses recently, we share your frustrations and we have been working hard to contact County Transport, who commission the service, to try and resolve these issues.

We have managed to speak with Hampshire Passenger Transport and Xelebus yesterday and today.

To help resolve the issue of overcrowding, students need to ensure that they get onto the right bus for their bus pass (see routes and pick up times below).  From Monday, drivers will be checking passes and any student without their pass maybe refused travel.  We are aware that there are a few students who are still waiting for passes and have been issued a temporary one in the interim.  

Please note that in order to improve reliability, it has been necessary for Xelebus to change the timings for the 508 and 510 routes starting from Tuesday 20 September.  They have also assured us that all Whiteley routes will have buses with ample capacity.
